Help please

I think this is Helen Collingw, what do you think?

I think this is Indian Chief, what do you think?

Sorry! I don't know. I don't grow either one. They both look like older iris.

Yes, they are. 1949 & 1929.

Thanks for looking!

hooked, I compared your picture and mine, side by side. And I would say yes, your first one is Helen Collingwood.
Your second picture looks like pictures I've seen of Indian Chief. Perhaps someone who grows it will be able to tell you for sure.

Linda, I appreciate your help! I have compared these photos with Argyle Acres photos also and they look like the correct names to me.

Thanks
Bonnie

You're very welcome Bonnie. Glad I could be of help!

Linda

Any thoughts on this one? Could it be Mexicana?

Your ?Mexicana? looks like Gypsy Queen
Salter, 1859

Nanse,
Do you have a photo? I checked plant files and didn't find Gypsy Queen.
Thanks

my old picture of GQ

Thanks irisloverdee,
if this is GQ it is not what I have. Mine is yellow /tan with very dark wine veining on the falls.

The second photo "Indian Chief" looks a little too bright, Indian Chief is deeper and more brown, could be Camelot? It is not horned. The first photo looks like Helen Collingwood. The 3rd photo is Gypsy Queen. Here are some photos to help.

Indian Chief

this is my helen collingwood, taken this spring. Bloom period here 3rd week of April

Cat, does Indian Chief's falls always curl like that?

No, I just snap the photo as soon as it opens, with all of the rain we have been getting, they get beat up pretty bad, so it is a fresh photo.

1913cat Is the photo irisloverdee posted GQ? Or is mine GQ?
